ding dong the witch is dead
the long dark night of Thatcher (to quote Derek Jarman) draws to a close
and to quote Derek again (after all the blog is in Dungeness this week) ..." it teaches us that the rich and the powerful, like George Bush, always make a mess of things, and the gods are unaccountable, like Mrs. Thatcher, for the distress they cause”
Derek Jarman hated Margaret Thatcher

"On December 22, 1986, finding I was body positive, I set myself a target: I would disclose my secret and survive Margaret Thatcher. I did. Now I have set my sights on the millennium and a world where we are all equal"
sadly he didn't make it and nor did we achieve equality - in fact the UK is more unequal today, thanks to the current tory administration
